In the away game against Bolton, the team that conceded the most goals at home in the Premier League this season, Arsenal failed to score a goal and ended up with a goalless draw with their opponents.

In the whole game, although Arsenal achieved 65% of the ball possession rate, the ratio of scoring in the opponent's half was 48% to 52%, and the number of shots on the goal frame was only 4 times, only 1 more than the opponent. indivual.

It can be said that even in terms of game scenes, Arsenal did not have the upper hand.

Although it finally stopped the previous three-game losing streak in the Premier League, as Wenger said after losing to Manchester United at home in the last round of the league, Arsenal was already "in a very difficult position" and wanted to catch up with the rankings. Chelsea, who is No. 4, is now No. 12 in the league and has become the Gunners' rival Tottenham, and leads by as many as [-] points!This must have made the shooter even more miserable!

The Gunners can no longer afford to lose points needlessly against underdogs.

However, facing Bolton, who is fourth from the bottom in the standings, Arsenal still couldn't get all 4 points. Not only did they fail to narrow the gap with Chelsea, but they were overtaken by Newcastle, which was originally behind them.

在2012年已经进行的4轮英超联赛中，阿森纳1平3负仅得1分，在积分榜上的位置也从2011年12月31日的第5名，跌落到了现在的第7名。

Some time ago, Wenger once said: "For me not being able to play in the Champions League is a disaster, because I want to compete with the best team, we want to be in the top four, qualify for the Champions League, and nothing else is enough. good."

However, from the current point of view, the disaster of missing the Champions League this season is still continuing, and it is getting closer to the trend of continuing to next season.

Although Wenger still said stubbornly after this campaign: "There is still a long way to go in the battle for the top four, I am confident that we will be able to come from behind. We have passed the difficult period, we have lost 3 times in a row. A league game, but I believe the team will soon regain the feeling of winning."

However, compared with Chelsea, which invested 700 million pounds in the transfer fee of England international Gary Cahill to fill the shortcomings of the central defender, Arsenal's signings in the winter transfer window were only signed with the 34-year-old Henry for a period of 2 years. A one-month short-term loan contract, and then spent 60 pounds to introduce a young boy from Dortmund's youth team, Eisfield. Can the Gunners, whose lineup is already dwarfed by comparison, overtake the Blues and Tottenham in the long-distance league run?Oh, now they have to overtake Newcastle United first, the cruel competitive situation really has to make people doubtful.

After entering 2012, Arsenal, who had 4 draw and 1 losses in 3 league rounds, only won in the FA Cup.

After Arsenal's 3-2 comeback against Aston Villa on Sunday, Walcott told the Daily Express: "A medal is one thing I want to get, I want to see me. career, look at the trophies I've won, but I haven't. I'm willing to do anything, trophies are the most important thing, I want to finish 4th or better with the team in the league and Win whatever trophy we can. The FA Cup is a great opportunity for us because some big teams are out and it's a competition we can win. Players come from 0-2 down to the disadvantage The way we fought back from the situation showed how much we wanted to win the FA Cup."

Walcott also revealed: "Van Persie gave a speech at half-time. He was the captain and he showed once again how much he believed in us and how much he wanted to win titles for this team. He knew We have the same desire in our hearts."

As Walcott said, Arsenal, who have won 5 titles for 0 years, are eager for honor.

Especially captain Van Persie, his love and allegiance to Arsenal is obvious to all, but his desire for honor is equally strong.

A few days ago, the Barcelona club's mouthpiece media "Mundo Deportivo" published a report on the front page, claiming that Van Persie was dissatisfied with his long-term missed championship career, which was the reason for his delay in renewing his contract with Arsenal.

Van Persie's current contract with Arsenal will expire in the summer of 2013, but "World Sports Daily" pointed out that Van Persie, who had a tacit cooperation with Cesc Fabregas, should switch to Barcelona this summer. "World Sports Daily" believes that , Van Persie should be happy to go to Barcelona and enjoy the joy of winning the championship with Cesc Fabregas.

This appeal by Mundo Deportivo will surely make all Arsenal fans outraged, but if it happens, Arsenal will not be able to finish in the top four of the Premier League at the end of this season and will not be able to qualify for next season's Champions League competition , Then, even if Van Persie chooses to leave the team in this summer's transfer window, or even be poached by Barcelona, ​​who can provide the opportunity to compete for the Champions League, I am afraid no one can blame the dedicated Arsenal captain for being ungrateful.

Compared with the decline of the London duo, Manchester United, which competed with Arsenal and Chelsea in the past, performed steadily in this round. Losing the FA Cup did not affect the fighting spirit of the Red Devils. Ferguson's ability to adjust the team has always been sharp for all to see.

Manchester United easily won Stoke City 2-0 at home and continued to put pressure on the top team Liverpool.

And the most unexpected thing is that Liverpool can return to the list thanks to the arch-rival Everton.

Moyes led the Toffees to give Blue Moon Manchester City a head-on blow at Goodison Park!

1: 0!

Everton gave Manchester City a painful defeat with Manchester United abandoning Gibson's lore.

On the one hand, after Yaya Toure went to the African Cup, Manchester City suddenly seemed to be unable to play football. On the other hand, it was dubbed by the media that Manchester United caused trouble for the arch enemy and sent Gibson to Everton to attack Manchester City!

After 23 rounds, the championship situation in the standings is still stalemate and fierce, and the competition for the Champions League qualification has become fierce and extremely cruel.

Liverpool 54 points.

Manchester United 53 points.

Manchester City 51 points.

Tottenham 49 points.

Chelsea 42 points.

Newcastle United 38 points.

Arsenal 37 points.

Although Tottenham have the possibility of competing for the championship, Fleet Street always believes that Tottenham is still a contender for the Champions League qualification, and the championship competition is still a game between the two cities of Manchester and Liverpool.

Unless, in the second half of the league, Tottenham can wash away the decline of the past few years in the civil war with the powerful, and take off the shame of White Hart Lane being known as the 3-point lane.

Otherwise, even if Tottenham are only 5 points away from Liverpool, the gap between Tottenham and Manchester City duo, Liverpool and other teams will be widened. (to be continued~^~)
